Since the economy slid into full-blown recession, I've been seeing more and more of these types of "free trial" offers. Companies marketing their products are beginning to feel the pinch and so instead of charging the product upfront, they allow consumers to try the product before actually paying for it. Glymetrol is one such product.

If you're on the internet, you'll see many free trial offers(just pay s&h) in the 7 to 14 day range. I always wondered how companies could make money if they keep sending out free product before charging the customers so I delved deeper. Many of these marketers hope that you forget to call back to cancel the trial within the 7 to 14 days and start automatically charging you once your trial period is over. Many times, you'll be "scammed" and charged before even receiving the product. What the heck kind of trial offer is it when you don't even get to try out the product before getting billed!!!???

What I like about Glymetrol is that they actually give you 30 days from the day you receive the product to make your decision. Any company that gives consumers a full month to try out a product from the time they receive the product gets 2 thumbs up from me. They must be confident that consumers willingly keep the product(and be billed) after the trial period is over. Or they'll be quickly out of business and filing for bankruptcy. Another benefit I see with Glymetrol is that when you're on their autoshipment plan, they discount the price even more. I noticed that when you call their order line, they have a couple of special offers to help lower the overall cost of the product. But I couldn't find these offers on their website so the only way to get the "specials' is by calling in. The only offer they have is the free trial offer. Companies should put all their offers on their website in order to give consumers more choices. These days, more and more consumers are shopping on the web to look for bargains.

Always read the fine print and details. Sometimes they're buried so you can't find them!!! Be wary of what you're getting into and always understand the offer 100%. For example, Glymetrol's offer is on the front page bottom so there's nothing to hide. I've been tricked many times into entering personal information and credit card information before finding out the tricky terms and conditions(usually one to three clicks away.) The good news is that there's a consumer watchdog called the FTC and it has recently taken action against such internet scammers!!! However, they can't keep up with so many offenders. It's up to you to protect yourself.

To come back to point and answer the question in the title...As far as I can see, Glymetrol's offer is fair, legitimate and allows consumers to try the product for 30 days(from date of receipt of product) in order to make an informed decision.
